Volume 1 Hao's Vessel Chapter 55 Qingcheng's Invitation
According to the white steward, all the way to the contact point of the Qingcheng Sect are barren mountains and mountains without human population, so Zhang Zhaimiao had to follow them all the way to the contact point of the Qingcheng Sect before he could contact the family, at first it was a little uncomfortable to sit with the two girls Zhai Miao, but Liu Wenhui kept talking to him, and slowly Zhang Zhaimiao found that he could still talk to them.
"You won't be the eldest lady of the Liu family of the Nansha Army, right?" Zhang Zhaimiao said half-jokingly.
Liu Yazhi tilted her head slightly, and said lightly: "Yes." ”
"Alas?" Zhang Zhaimiao couldn't react for a while, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and he looked at Liu Wenhui in a daze, Liu Wenhui just gave him a gentle smile back, which undoubtedly meant yes.
Zhang Zhaimiao didn't expect that he would say it so casually, it was true, there were so many people with the surname Liu in the Dao realm, how could they meet the Liu family of the Nansha Army, which was the same as the Zhang family, and they still received a personal invitation from the sect master of the Qingcheng Sect to go to the Qingcheng Sect to cultivate, and if they could have such treatment, maybe they would be the daughters of the head of the family himself.
Waiting for the Liu family and the Zhang family to be bad or good, Zhang Zhaimiao couldn't think of it for a while, as if he never knew what the relationship between the Zhang family and other big families was.
"Zhang Zhaimiao?Zhang Zhaimiao?" It wasn't until Liu Wenhui stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Zhang Zhaimiao that he came back to his senses, seeing Zhang Zhaimiao's funny reaction, Liu Wenhui sneered, leaned forward slightly, and approached Zhang Zhaimiao, Zhang Zhaimiao subconsciously wanted to lean back, but found that he was already on the side of the carriage door, and there was nowhere to retreat, "Although we are a big family, we won't eat you, what are you afraid of?"
"I ...... I'm not afraid. Zhang Zhaimiao stuttered nervously.
"I still said I wasn't afraid-" Liu Wenhui's voice stopped abruptly, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the three of them hurriedly probed out of the curtain to see what the situation was. I saw a few people in front of the carriage carrying a large load of firewood across the road that the carriage was about to walk, and there was a fork in the road not far away, and the white steward looked at the map while waiting for the peasants to cross the road, and looked very distressed.
"Steward Bai, what's wrong?" asked Zhai Miao, who noticed Steward's expression.
The white steward replied in confusion: "There is no mark on the map that there is a fork in the road here, and I don't know that the road is the contact point to the Qingcheng Sect. Auntie, do you know how to get to Qingcheng Sect?"
The white steward called out to a lady walking behind in front of the car, and the eldest lady carried more firewood than the young people in front, but she looked much easier than the young people in front. After hearing the shout of the white butler, the eldest lady approached the carriage, and the others also stopped, looking back at the white butler, quite a kind of posture that if you dare to bully the old man, we will beat you.
"Don't scream, young man, my ears are fine. "For the eldest lady's age, maybe the white steward is really a young man," You want to ask for directions, we don't know how to go to Qingcheng Sect." But there is a teacher from the Qingcheng Sect waiting for you in front of you. ”
"The teacher of the Qingcheng Sect?" the white steward was a little skeptical.
At this time, a young man came over and asked, "Your surname is Liu?"
The white steward was a little surprised, he obviously didn't report his family, but the young man in front of him directly asked them if they were from the Liu family, indicating that they had known early on that there were people from the Liu family who wanted to worship the Qingcheng Sect.
"Yes. ”
"Then please come with us to the village, our village is the contact point of the Qingcheng Sect, and Teacher Li of the Qingcheng Sect is waiting for you in my father's tavern. ”
The white steward asked the coachman to slowly follow the villagers and drove along the road on the right, and the white steward did not suspect that since they had said the person Mr. Li, then what they said should be true.
That Teacher Li also accompanied the sect master when the sect master of Qingcheng Sect visited Liu's house, and the white steward also heard from the head of the family that this teacher Li was a disciple of the sect master of Qingcheng Sect, so he has been accompanying the sect master for many years, and he is also the only one in the Dao world today who has not participated in the blood sacrifice of the Wang family and bears the stigma of Qingcheng Jiujie.
On the way to the village, the white steward told Zhang Zhaimiao, who asked, everything he knew about this Teacher Li, and after listening to it, Zhang Zhaimiao always felt that there was a very complicated story behind this Teacher Li and Qingcheng Jiujie.
When the story of the white butler was finished, they also arrived at the village, and the first impression they had was that the whole village was filled with the smell of wine, and the mere smell of it made people feel a little drunk.
The young man carrying the firewood led them to the door of his tavern, saying that Mr. Li was inside. Zhang Zhaimiao got out of the carriage and stood in front of the tavern with the smell of wine, and the tail on the side moved his nose again, with a strange expression.
In Zhang Zhaimiao's impression, the people in the tavern should be rough alcoholics, and the tavern is full of drunken people scolding and swearing foul language, because the taverns in the Falling Sky Castle are always like this, in short, Zhang Zhaimiao has no good impression of the tavern.
But this tavern feels completely different, and when Zhang Zhaimiao stepped into this tavern, he felt a strange feeling that was diametrically opposed to his imagination.
More than ten people drank a large bowl of wine in this tavern, but there was no sound, it was surprisingly quiet, and people who didn't know would think that people here were here to taste tea, and this was not a tavern but an elegant teahouse. But the clothes they were wearing were just the coarse linen clothes of ordinary villagers, and the wine they drank was indeed wine, this atmosphere surprised Zhai Miao, and she didn't know how to react for a while.
On the wine table closest to the door sat a person wearing a dark green robe, the dark lines on the robe were an eagle with wings spread, and the eagle's eyes were inlaid with inconspicuous green jade.
This person should be Teacher Li of the Qingcheng Sect, I saw him pour the wine in the bowl into his stomach in one breath and put down the bowl, looked at the four people who walked into the tavern and smiled.
"Welcome Miss Liu, I was ordered by my master to personally welcome the two young ladies to the Qingcheng Sect, and the two young ladies will be the disciples of our Qingcheng Sect in the future. White steward, I have a question, who is the young man next to you, I remember that the teacher and his old man did not invite anyone else to the Qingcheng Sect. ”
Li Xijian looked at Zhang Zhaimiao, who seemed to be very interested in him, and Zhang Zhaimiao always felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Li Xijian. The white steward showed Li a slight salute, and then talked about Zhang Zhaimiao's origin: "This young man was rescued by us on the way, Zhang Zhaimiao of the Zhang family." ”
"Why is there a young man in the Zhang family in the Eastern Regions who is in the Western Regions?"
Zhang Zhaimiao always thought that the white steward just regarded him as an ordinary boy surnamed Zhang, but he didn't expect that the white steward had already guessed that he was a member of the Zhang family, and there was nothing to hide now, Zhang Zhaimiao simply stepped forward and hugged his fist: "Zhang Zhaimiao of the Zhang family, accidentally injured and separated from the family team, I hope that Mr. Li will help me contact the family so that I can return to the Zhang family as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter if I help you. Li Xijian said, but his eyes drifted to Wei You, who was squatting next to Zhang Zhaimiao, stretched out his hand, and asked, "Your cat?"
Zhang Zhaimiao glanced at Tail Again with a side face, and nodded a little hesitantly, he and Tail Again have never been a master-servant relationship. But what made Zhang Zhaimiao feel weird was the playful smile on Li Xijian's face after he made him feel a sense of crisis.
"Then without further ado, Steward Bai, you take the two young ladies to pack some luggage, I will be responsible for taking the two young ladies to the Qingcheng Sect, you can send them here, after all, the Qingcheng Sect is not your carriage that can go up." After Li Xijian waited for the white steward to take the two sisters of the Liu family out of the tavern, he called out to Zhang Zhaimiao, "Zhang Zhaimiao, can you sit next to me?"
Zhang Zhaimiao was naturally unwilling, but it was not easy to refuse other people's invitations for no reason, so he came to Li Xijian's table half-walked and half-stopped, sat opposite Li Xijian, and jumped on the table again, squatting next to Zhang Zhaimiao's hand, looking at Li Xijian with some arrogance, which was no different from some cats.
But Li Xijian's smile became more meaningful: "I don't have much time, I'll get straight to the point, do you want to be my personal disciple?"
